Give Where You Live!

Give today through December 4, 2025

The Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) is where Nebraska’s creativity truly comes to life! Right here in the heart of Kearney, MONA is the proud home of Nebraska’s official state art collection-more than 5,000 works strong and growing. Since 1979, we’ve celebrated the art and artists that make our state shine, welcoming more than 25,000 visitors yearly.

This year, we invite you to help bring the Community Studio to life! Your gift during Give Where You Live will help us replenish all the wonderful supplies we use for our programs, ensuring that we have a variety of materials to inspire makers of all ages.

Give Where You Live 2025

All donations must be received by December 4, 2025. 

There are several ways to donate:

• In-person at MONA during regular museum hours (Tuesday through Sunday)
